Scaffolds an Architecture Decision Record (ADR-NNN.md) at a decision moment — allocates the next global-monotonic number across BOTH core/ADRs/ and release/ADRs/, stamps the derivable metadata (title stub, status Proposed, today's date, release slug, canonical Nygard section headers), and leaves every decision-prose section an author-fill placeholder. Scaffold-only: writes what is DERIVABLE, never the rationale that must be DECIDED (No-invention). Fires on an explicit request; a non-blocking passive offer may surface for an ADR-threshold decision but never auto-writes. Reads the ADR home DYNAMICALLY (never hardcoded). Immutable: allocates the next free number, never reuses or renumbers; supersession is a Status transition plus a new ADR. Consumes adr-authoring-guide.md + adr-schema.md; composes decision-discipline.md by reference. Triggers: "record this as an ADR", "scaffold an ADR", "create an ADR", "start an ADR", "write up this decision as an ADR", "adr-helper", "allocate the next ADR number".
